IELTS SPEAKING TIP

A big problem for many IELTS test takers in Part of the IELTS speaking test is that they can’t think of enough ideas to include in their response to the cue card, or they can’t think about them quickly enough.

It’s a good idea to practice brainstorming ideas and vocabulary for lots of different topics which might appear in Part 2 of the IELTS speaking test.

For example, this cue card is about an advertisement. So, how many different types of advertisements can you think of (quickly!)? What was the last advertisement you remember seeing? How would you describe 5 different types of advertisements? What are their specific features / benefits / advantages? What kinds of advertisements are most popular in your country? Why do people like them? Can you think of 3 reasons? How has advertising changed in the last 10 years? Can you say 3 good things about internet/mobile ads and 3 bad things about internet/mobile ads?

Get the idea? The more you immerse yourself in a topic the more quickly you’ll be able to think of things to say – and reasons to support any idea or opinion you present.

Make a habit of practicing (with a partner) and time yourself, give yourself, 20 or 30 seconds to brainstorm ideas, vocabulary or reasons about various topics.

The more you practice the better you will become at this skill – which will help improve your IELTS score.

Good luck with your IELTS Speaking Test!
